Jackie’s Raw roundup

Raw kicked off with The Immortal…I mean Hollywood..oh, right, he’s not doing that anymore…

The Immortal Hulk Hogan kicked off with his big announcement for Wrestlemania XXX. There will be an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania XXX. It was not said who would all would be in it.

After that, John Cena came out and proceeded to put Hogan over for 15 minutes. They were joined at ringside by The Wyatt Family and Bray Wyatt did his usual thing calling Hogan and Cena “liars” and called himself a “god.” Cena then challenged Wyatt to a match at Wrestlemania. The Wyatts tried to storm the ring as we went to black.

When we came back from break Cena and Erick Rowan were in a match with Hogan in Cena’s corner. Cena gets the win with a roll up. After the match, Cena and Hogan posed in the ring.

On the WWE App, Byron Saxton interviewed Jimmy and Jey Uso, the Usos and the new WWE tag champs.

Back from commercial, The Authority came out and said they were not going to fìre Daniel Bryan for his action of kicking Triple H in the head last week and even apologized…assuming he can apologize for his part. If he can’t do it, Stephanie said there will be “severe consequences.”

On the WWE App, Dolph Ziggler and Damien Sandow continued their “Man Wars”…and it continued to make me want to throw up. As a woman, there is nothing more laughable than listening to men argue about what’s more manly.

Next is Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Usos with the New Age Outlaws on commentary. The Usos picked up the win with a splash on Curtis Axel.

Backstage, Kane was laying the smackdown on The Shield and made a match between Rollins and Reigns and the Rhodes Brothers saying things started to go south for them when they lost the tag titles to the Rhodes Brothers a few weeks ago. Then The Shield started talking smack to Kane and needed to be slapped.

Back from break it was Jack Swagger vs. Big E, who picked up the win via pinfall.

Next was The Undertaker returning to Raw but was interrupted by Paul Heyman. Heyman talked about how the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Hulk Hogan could never pull off three, four or five victories in a row at Wrestlemania and Taker is at 21 victories in a row. He then begged Taker to not wrestle Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania as he didn’t want to see the streak broken. Taker told Heyman that the fear of death is never as bad as the death itself but the fear of the unknown is the worst fear of all. And if Brock shows up in New Orleans, he will rest in peace.

Next was the match between The Rhodes Brothers and Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. It was a great match that saw The Shield pick up the win.

Next was AJ Lee and Tamina vs. The Bella Twins. Nikki Bella got the win for her team by pinning AJ Lee.

Next Daniel Bryan came out and refused to apologize and brought “fans” in the ring to “occupy” Raw. Stephanie and Triple H tried to clear the ring, but failed. There were only two people working security and they couldn’t clear the ring. Stephanie ws foaming at the mouth and I’m pretty sure her eyes were glowing red. Daniel Bryan did get his match with Triple H at Wrestlemania and if he wins, he gets to be put into the championship match with Randy Orton and Batista in the main event. Genius.

Next is Sheamus vs. Christian in a Memphis Street Fight. Sheamus won after kicking Christian in the head through a drumset!

Backstage, Brad Maddox was trying to get Batista and Randy Orton to put their differences behind them but Randy Orton was livid over Bryan getting his match at WrestleMania.

Bray Wyatt went on a psychotic episode right before the main event, Daniel Bryan and Big Show vs. Batista and Randy Orton.

This match had the misfortune of following the Triple H/Bryan segment from earlier but it was great! Daniel Bryan got the pin after kneeing Randy Orton in the face. This was a great episode and I was in awe of Stephanie’s performance tonight. Can’t wait until next week!
